Medical Device Security
Users must take steps to secure their networks and protect their Medical Information Systems
which includes a risk assessment strategy, network defense in depth strategy, business
continuity planning, etc.

User Authentication
Only authorized users should log on to computers on which medical information
systems are installed.

Password Security
In today’s world, passwords can be compromised in literally seconds by using a wide
variety of tools and techniques. To lower the possibility of a compromised password, it
is vital to adhere to a set of protocols.
 Choose a password between 7 ~ 10 characters using both alpha and numeric
characters.
 Do not share the password.
 Do not base the password on a pet’s name, a relative’s name or any dictionary
word.
 Do not write down the password.
 Do not leave the account logged on.

User Access Control
Configure the workstation to prompt for logon after coming out of stand-by mode.

Internet Usage
Accessing to the Internet exposes the computer to a plethora of vulnerabilities such as:
 Viruses
 Spyware
 Trojans
 Hostile Codes
It is not recommended to install any unauthorized software on the computer. Peer-topeer software can expose your entire hard drive to any individual running the same
type of software.

Antivirus Products
Use of antivirus software can increase CPU and memory usage, which can cause a
slight degradation in the performance of the system. However, functionality should not
be affected.

Physical Security
It is recommended that the user employs some method of physical security when
dealing with the system to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the
product.

1. Introduction
QuantorMed+ is intuitive, easy-to-use workstation software that provides facilities using 3D
Imaging & Simulations Corp. CR readers with optimized image acquisition, processing, and
management capabilities. Its DICOM compliant interface allows for simple integration into a
facility’s HIS, RIS, and PACS, providing the full range of capabilities needed for improved
productivity and workflow in busy clinics and practices.
This user manual provides detailed information about the operation of QuantorMed+ and the
use of the range of facilities included in the software to make the processing and administration
of your medical X-ray images as efficient as possible.
Safety Instruction
To ensure the safety of patients, staff and other persons, any changes to software and hardware
delivered by 3D Imaging & Simulations Corp. may only be made with prior written permission
from 3D Imaging & Simulations Corp.
Liability
If unauthorized changes have been made to delivered software and hardware components, the
warranty by 3D Imaging & Simulations Corp. becomes void. 3D Imaging & Simulations
Corp. will not accept any responsibility or liability for the improper functioning of the product in
such a case.
QuantorMed+ is not approved for the acquisition of mammographic image data.

TM -721-EN
1.1. Main Features
Image Acquisition & Study Management
QuantorMed+ Software allows facilities to quickly input patient data – or access it directly from
their HIS, RIS or PACS for improved productivity and accuracy. Image acquisition is supported
by a fully developed list of exams and anatomies, and a viewer displays images on a monitor to
facilitate quality control and image management. Once completed, the study can be sent to the
PACS, printed on a dry film printer, or burned onto a CD or DVD.
Image Manipulation, Multi-Viewing & Stitching
To optimize images, technicians can crop, etch, enhance, increase brightness and contrast, and
perform other adjustments. Regions of interest can be highlighted, and users can easily change
the order of images or delete images in the multi-view window. Stitching capabilities for images
of legs, spines, and other anatomical areas are particularly useful for orthopedic and
chiropractic facilities.
Integrated Viewer
For smaller facilities without a HIS, RIS or PACS, QuantorMed+’s local database enables direct
management of patients and studies utilizing a unique viewer function. Technicians and
radiologists can review DICOM and non-DICOM images on the same station they acquired it on.
Full Range of Output Options
QuantorMed+ features a full range of output options, including DICOM CD-burn, embedded
view, DICOM send SCU, and DICOM print for dry film printers. The combined DICOM Patient
CD and dry film print creates patient CD / DVDs that include DICOM DIR structure and a built-in
viewer.
